The history of the electric guitar has, until recently, been understudied. During the past decade the origin of the electrically amplified guitar has come to light thru scholarly research by historians committed to challenging colorful legend with fact. This presentation examines the origin story of the electric guitar challenging much of what has popularly been put forward as the instrument's history and erroneously remains "viral" through-out media.
